Tycho

Tycho brought their ambient live music to the Varsity Theater in Minneapolis last night, July 5th, 2012.
Opening was Onuinu (as heard, it’s pronounced “on-noo-in-noo”), the latest project from Portland’s Dorian Duvall. …


APRIL 8: FIRST AVENUE

Tycho w/ Gems

I remember seeing Tycho when they were in Minneapolis for their fifth time and I said it was a great turnout. I don’t have the numbers, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that show was sold out.

Sharon Jones

The last time I saw Laura Stevenson, she was with “The Cans” at The Triple Rock in 2011. I wonder if the band decided to drop the “The Cans” part and just going with “Laura Stevenson”? …
